#1 Spare ignition keys

Post by Robbiee » Thu Apr 05, 2018 7:00 pm

Hi
I’m looking for a spare ignition key for my S1 3.8 1962
The code is FP654 and at present the key manufacturer is “Romac”
Can anyone suggest where I can find an appropriate spare and which key style is correct for 1962?
Thanks
Robbie
PS fabulous early morning drive in my ‘62 coupe today..took the (very) long route to work.
Aaah ...nothing better than watching the sun rise over the bonnet

I bought some spares from an eBay seller “andyvanchimney”.

First set were great, new and unused. Second set not so great but useful.

Plenty of sellers on eBay but most of these just cut from new blanks which I didn’t want
